Default Bigger Tax return, help me build a good gaming comp!

Okay I thought I had a 1k budget but tax return was a lot more than anticipated. So I came up with this, how is it? If any has better suggestions, or something else that gets me more bang for my buck, or saves me some money I'd really appreciate it.

I already have a 7950 GT Video card, so I'm good there.

yup, that looks pretty good... you may want to go for an aftermarket cpu cooler as well if you're spending that much on ocing parts...

the only thing there that i'm unsure of is the case... but there isn't really a whole lot that can go wrong if it has room and you like the style.

Whoa, do NOT get the Xion PSU. This OCZ is much better, and a lot more reliable. Also the P5B-E is not that great of an overclocker. A Gigabyte DS3 or P5B Deluxe will be much better. Aftermarket cooling is also a good idea.
